Although I will not get to see all of PEI in my short three day stay - I have gotten to see an enormous amount of it.
I hope you enjoy some of the pictures that I took to chronicle the trip...

The light house at Stanhope |

The red rocks and red sand that is everywhere on the Red Island...- Again these pictures are taken out at Stanhope |
|
At the wharf at Stanhope I had the MOST incredible Haddock Fish & Chips lunch - NOTHING compares to fresh fish! |
|
Red Sand and Red Rocks complimented by Blue Ocean |
|
The sunset at Savage Bay - stunning! |

After a great night on the beach, we got up the next morning and met
hubby at the Red Island Rally site - and then we all hopped into his
sisters car and went for a scenic drive...to East Point - the place
where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans meet |

After touring the light house and learning the regions history we headed back down island towards Charlottetown...

|
At Basin Head
Beach where jumping into a canal that pulls you out to sea is a
fantastic time for the kids...it is also the home of the singing
sands...the sand here has the highest concentration of silica of
anywhere...when you walk on the sand - it squeaks! |

The road sign designating this highway as the Veterans Memorial Highway |

The Memorial for the Veterans Highway |

Another of the phenomenal area churches |
After a wonderful day of sight seeing we went to New Glasow for a Lobster Supper - what an absolute feast!
I am sad to leave this incredibly picturesque little island that only measures 150 miles long (250 KM's) and 14 miles at it's widest and 4 at it's narrowest - if I remember all of the facts our tour guide from the East End Light House gave us....
The people, the landscapes, the history and the food - it is all absolutely amazing.
My next destination - Moncton New Brunswick - Until next time - ride safe
